I am writing to express the good time that my wife and I had on the volcano bike tour and wine tasting on Dec. 22. The guide and driver made this tour the most enjoyable tour we have ever been on. From the point where we were picked up the driver’s upbeat and welcoming attitude was a prelude to the atmosphere of the entire trip. The guide’s knowledge and passion for the information of the tour combined with his simple detailed explanations of the inner workings of the volcano and geological features made learning about the science and culture of the area very gratifying. His interjections of his personal experience working with the USGS gave the tour a much more personal spin then just simply stating facts. We would like to commend these employees and relay to you that because of them we will be recommending bike volcano tours all friends, family, coworkers, and acquaintances who have the good fortune of visiting Hawaii.
